At a recent viewing of advertisements by the UK Advertising Standards Authority, where fifty-six ads were viewed and six were found to be in contravention of the code, one of the advertisements that contravened the code was from a bingo operator. At this point in time it is unclear as to whether the bingo operator was land-based or online, as no names have been released by the ASA.

Bingo Promotions Step Up The Pace
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008With more online bingo operators coming on board weekly, competition is hotting up to see which bingo sites are going to be offering the best online promotions and Gala Bingo, being one of the leading online bingo operators has geared up its promotions to meet the demand.
They have announced that there will be extra prize money available of £150 000 and this amount is creating an extra opportunity for 10 000 winners a day on the Gala Bingo Website. It has also been estimated that 130,000 winners per week will benefit from this extra prize money and as a result of the new bingo games on offer.
In the Gala bingo “winnathon” that is played between 10:00 GMT and midnight, every player who has only one number left on their card to win, will be credited with £1 after the full house has been called. This does have some terms and conditions applied though as cashing in with one to go wins will be limited to one per day.
The “High five” game is still in play and the site has advertised progressives will literally grow before their eyes. It seems to me that Gal bingo is pretty jacked to capture some new business and other online bingo sites will have to make sure they can keep up!
